Thanks for your enquiry. Not so far, but we haven't given up on the possibility. The only feature that we think we may have detected via the GPR survey in that area is the top of the staircase that once linked the Sand House's lower floor level to street level. We need to survey that area again to be certain, when we can exclude all parked vehicles from the area. One problem with detecting any remains of the house's sandstone walls comes from a combination of their potential depth below current ground surface (anything between about 3m and 8m). The other main problem is the fact that the intervening ground comprises a whole variety of mixed fill... just the sort of thing to distortos GPR signals. We hope to carry out further investigations as and when resources become available.
Did you ever get any conclusive geophys results from around Silverwood Richard?
